"Like the panics of bygone eras, this one (global warming) has
the aspect of yet another re-enactment of the Big Con. The huckster
arrives in town, tells all the rubes that disaster impends for them and
their families, but says there may be one last chance they can be saved
– but it will take a lot of money. And the folks should go about
collecting it, right now.

"This, it seems to me, is what the global-warming scare and scam
are all about – frightening Americans into transferring sovereignty,
power and wealth to a global political elite that claims it alone
understands the crisis and it alone can save us from impending disaster.

"We're brainwashing our children. ... While modest warming has
taken place, there is no conclusive evidence human beings are
responsible, no conclusive evidence Earth's temperature is rising
dangerously or will reach intolerable levels and no conclusive evidence
that warming will do more harm than good.

"Whether it's hunger, poverty or homelessness, in the end, the
poor are always with us, but now we have something else always with us:
scores of thousands of federal bureaucrats and armies of academics to
study the problem and assess the progress, with all their pay and
benefits provided by our tax dollars.

"Cal Coolidge said that when you see 10 troubles coming up the
road toward you, sometimes the best thing to do is nothing, because nine
of them will fall into the ditch before they get to you. And so it will
be with global warming, if we don't sell out America to the hucksters
who would save us.
